Carr admits fraud

The former teaching assistant admitted 15 counts of benefit fraud and five counts of lying about her qualifications in job applications when she appeared at Nottingham Crown Court. She was given a three-year community rehabilitation order.

Carr is currently serving a three-year jail sentence for conspiring with Huntley to pervert the course of justice.

She was charged with the deception counts after her conviction with Huntley.The benefit fraud charges included housing benefit, income support and jobseeker's allowance.

Carr, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, was also accused of lying about her qualifications when she applied for work.

One of the jobs was as a classroom assistant at St Andrew's Primary School in Soham, Cambridgeshire, where Huntley's victims, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, were pupils.

Huntley, the former caretaker at Soham Village College, was jailed for life at the Old Bailey in December after he was found guilty of murdering the 10-year-olds.

Carr, 27, was jailed for three years at the same trial but was cleared of two charges of assisting an offender.
